(Citizens of the World)
(c) Timmon Wallis (1986)
Lyrics
CHORUS: Citizens of the world, the world is calling you
Calling you to stand up and be counted
Stand up for what you believe in
Be counted in the struggle for freedom
Freedom from the threat of war
1. We’ve got to do everything that we can do
To stop another nightmare coming true
There’s not a more important priority
We’ve got to take responsibility.
2. No more can anyone pretend to hide
From war, that’s certain to be suicide
This crime against us all must come to end
This time, it’s our children’s future we defend.
3. We could create a better world than this
We should be proving that it can exist
We need to pool our efforts to germinate
The seeds of a peaceful world that we create.
CHORUS: Citizens of the world, the world is calling you
Calling you to stand up and be counted
Counted for what you believe in
Believing in the fight for freedom
Freedom from the threat of war:
It’s time to abolish war!
